Data Management Software

A single platform. A singular approach to better data.

Data drives everything. Make sure it’s right.

Take a look inside any successful organization and you'll likely discover data management technology powering every process. It’s that critical. But not every solution is created the same. SAS® Data Management is based on data quality. Built on a unified platform. Designed with IT and business collaboration in mind. And ready to help you transform big data into big opportunity.

Data management expertise. We’ve been in the data business for decades, so we know everything there is to know about data management and integration. Plus, Gartner positioned SAS in the Leaders Quadrant for data integration.

Truly integrated technology. Instead of cobbling together bits and pieces to create a patchwork solution, we’ve built our data management technology from the ground up. It’s seamless. Reliable. And ready to take on your biggest initiatives.

Data Quality

Achieve better, cleaner data. Regardless of volume.

Brilliance isn’t based on bad data. For your organization to succeed, you need to create a culture where data quality is valued – which means partnering with a company that makes it a top priority. With SAS, you can:

Establish unprecedented levels of data quality to support business processes. A recent report found that up to 40 percent of business initiatives fail due to data quality. So when it comes to performing tasks – from managing big data to preparing for analytics – you need to trust the data driving your organization.

Manage your entire data quality life cycle. With data constantly flowing in and out of your business, we help you establish repeatable processes so you can build and maintain high-quality data.

Jobs done faster – with fewer risks. Keep your system intact and bring data quality to the data instead of the other way around. You’ll work faster and more efficiently, without jeopardizing your information.

Ability to share the workload. Data quality is everyone's concern – from data stewards to business execs. So we've created a system that's intuitive and built for both business and IT users.

Data quality at the forefront. It’s the core of our business, and the basis for our solid reputation. In fact, Gartner positioned SAS in the Leaders Quadrant for Data Quality Tools.

Data Governance

Prevent problems before they happen.

Your business, your rules. SAS technology helps you enforce policies so you can trust your data without micromanaging it. Plus, our services help you maintain those policies over the long term. With SAS, you can:

Establish guidelines and permissions. You’ll know who’s doing what with your business information, and you can control who accesses your data down to the most granular level.

Stop problems that could plague your system. The ability to intercept issues often means the difference between business-as-usual and complete chaos. We help you flag issues – and then fix them.

Make sure everyone’s on the same page. Our business glossary lets you create a repository of terms and their definitions that can be applied across any system. It's one of the first steps toward team collaboration, establishing standard definitions and giving context to your data.

An investment in technology – and expertise. Data governance is as much about processes – and the services that support them – as it is about technology. Our experts understand that better than anyone. We’ll help you set goals, establish guidelines and work in a way that benefits your business.

Setting the stage for future initiatives. There’s nothing better than building on success. And when you have a solid data governance solution in place, it paves the road for your next big goal. Establishing trust in your data makes anything possible.

Business glossary promotes collaboration. Not only can you set standard definitions for your organization, you’ll also integrate workflow and flag issues before they cause bigger problems.

Master Data Management

A complete, customized solution. Up and running in a matter of months.

When it comes to master data management (MDM), your team is as important as your technology – because MDM requires smart planning. To succeed, you need experts who can help you make the right decisions that will carry your business far into the future. With SAS, you can:

Create a road map based on your specific needs. A large, monolithic one-size-fits-all approach gets you nowhere. We spend time understanding your organization so your solution solves the problems you need it to solve.

Implement new technology that works with your existing system. No reason to rip and replace. SAS works with the systems you already have, saving you time and money. Plus it grows as your business grows.

Achieve faster time to value. Not only do you get a powerful, customized MDM solution, you also can get it up and running quickly for faster ROI. That's because we lay the groundwork first, helping you build a solution that meets your needs.

Experts who are the best in the business. SAS consultants are your ultimate resource when it comes to setting up an MDM program. They’ll work to understand your business, then create a road map to get you started. And with a governance program, you'll continue your success well into the future.

Big impact for your investment. Unlike other players in the industry, our goal is to set you up for long-term success. We’ll help you determine whether you need MDM on a small or large scale, and then we’ll work with your existing system to make it happen.

One platform, one approach – built on data quality. When it comes to your MDM program, you don’t need a solution that’s been cobbled together – you want one built from the ground up. That’s what you get from SAS. One solid solution, based on data quality.

Data Federation

Control access to information. Boost security without moving data.

Get consistent, centralized and better-governed data without having to move it. SAS eases the burden of managing disparate data by enabling you to:

Achieve a clear, virtual view of your data. A virtual business view lets you reference data where it’s actively used and maintained: its source.

Control who sees – and manipulates – your data. We don’t just accomplish this on a basic level. With SAS, you can set parameters – down to the row level – specifying who has access to what information.

Get consistent, documented data access. Unify and standardize data access across multiple, heterogeneous systems from a single connection.

Unparalleled data security. Sensitive data deserves the ultimate safeguards. With SAS, you determine who sees what data – and get as granular as necessary.

Easy access to data. Your data can be both highly secure and easy to access. Retrieve data quickly from underlying sources through a virtual view.

Technology that works with your existing systems. SAS is technology neutral, which means our solutions don’t require you to invest in a yet another set of specialized systems. Use this flexibility to get up and running even faster.
